Through my experience teaching students of all ages, including teens and adults, I've seen the importance of adapting my teaching to the learning style of each person.

I've been a math teacher and an adjunct professor. I taught at Duke University and began tutoring over 20 years ago. Through my experience teaching students of all ages, including teens and adults, I've seen the importance of adapting my teaching to the learning style of each person. I also have several years of experience applying math to real world situations. I use what's around us every day to make math easier and have it come alive! I help gifted math students, students struggling to pass math, and those in between. I’ve tutored students taking online courses and those who are homeschooled.

My students find they gain much more than a better understanding of math. Their grades and their study skills improve. They complete their homework on time. Their self-confidence increases. They feel more at ease as their stress levels and test anxiety lessen. Yes, and sometimes they actually smile and laugh while learning math! Students discover they really can ask questions and get the answers they need. They can request help and receive it.

I tutor these subjects:
Common Core Math 1, 2, 3
Pre-Algebra
Algebra 1, 2
Geometry
Trigonometry
Advanced Functions and Modeling (AFM)
Pre-Calculus
AP Calculus AB, BC

I also tutor math for these exams:
PSAT
ACT
SAT
SAT Math I, II
Praxis

A high school senior gave me a handwritten note which said: “You are truly a blessing that came into my life. You helped me change my perspective towards math. I thought I was a failure in math. You have helped me and gave me hope that I can actually succeed in life no matter how challenges may come. When I graduate college and medical school, you will be in my speech because you played a huge influence in my accomplishment. Never stop teaching because you help give people like me hope!”

JoAnna is simply great!

Clearly expresses the concepts, breaks down anxiety with study techniques, has a wonderful way of making her students completely comfortable, which helps with confidence. She doesn’t waste time and yet is very patient.

Greatest tutor!

JoAnna was willing to meet last minute with my daughter to prepare her for a quiz. She was able to quickly assess what the problem was and explain how to do the problem in a way that my daughter understood. She also did it in a way that gave my daughter confidence. Joanna is wonderful and we look forward to continuing sessions with her.

Geometry rescue

My son was feeling very discouraged about his progress in geometry and He is much more confident about the material. We will likely be in touch in the future!

JoAnna is very patient

JoAnna is taking me on a journey of rediscovering math. I'd forgotten many fundamentals - something that caused me anxiety when I needed to understand math problems that I encountered in the real world. I recently decided that I wanted to further my education in Math so that I could participate more directly in Machine Learning and JoAnna is helping me work towards that level.

Great tutor!

Before I took my SSAT tests, I did not realize how difficult it can be. My percentile was embarrassingly low, and I definitely felt I needed tutoring. JoAnna became my math mentor, and she has given me strategies that helped a lot during the test, especially when you were running out of time. The advice she gives and support she provides is top notch, and this helped me reach 91st percentile from 66th on the SSAT test within two months. I got accepted to my dream school, and JoAnne was there for help and support along the way.

Excellent tutor

Superb! Hope JoAnna keeps tutoring for many years to home. I don’t even want to try another tutor. She is extraordinary, knowledgeable and with a special gift to teach. It makes Algebra simple!

Grisselle, 90 lessons with Jo Anna

Amazing

She’s very clear and helped my son with AP Calculus concepts that were not taught well by his teacher. He said he learned more in 30 minutes than he did in three weeks in class.

Sumathi, 9 lessons with Jo Anna

Explains incredibly well!

JoAnna really knows her subject well, no hesitation there. But more importantly, she is just incredible at explaining material, breaking it down into logical steps. She is our insurance policy for our son going through AP Calc. Truly an excellent tutor!
